Okay, look in that second section, fourth line down where it says ‘features’ => 0, – that should be changed from zero to 2. So however many posts you have set to show on a page, 2 should be features and the rest will be part of the grid. Let me know if that takes care of the issue for you!

Thanks, Andrea- I see how to change the number of featured posts, but I would like to get rid of the grid layout. Is there a way for my featured posts to show up in a format with title, blog image, and a few lines of the post , several on the page- and get rid of the two-column grid?

Yes, you can do that! Sorry, I misunderstood. Just rename home.php in your theme’s folder to something like home-old.php and it will display normal blog posts (configurable in Genesis > Theme Settings) instead of the grid. You may also need to change the number of posts per page in Settings > Reading to make it match whatever is in your Genesis settings.
